To do this effectively, the Power Assist uses a powerful Li-ion battery, with the availability of an equally powerful charger. This way, users can easily manage their travel range particularly over long distances.

Another popular Portashopper product that makes use of our products is the Portashopper-2, a lightweight model is intended for users who are constantly on the go. Portashopper-2 uses a Li-ion Phosphate battery that powers 10Ah, making it a reliable product altogether.

Portashopper-3 on the other hand, uses a 9Ah battery, with the option of choosing from the following: 7Ah, 14Ah and 21Ah depending on one’s needs. Portashopper products are typically sold together with the battery charger, but should one require an extra charger, these are available from Batteries Charger Company.

Using a lightweight electric wheelchair does have numerous benefits for the user, chief among them the ability to move from one place to another with ease. Electric wheelchairs save the user physical energy expended in manually steering a wheelchair, and are an excellent option for individuals with limited upper limb function. That aside, the issue of exactly how such a wheelchair is powered amazes many people. Contrary to popular belief, wheelchair batteries do not function similarly to car batteries. For the latter, the battery serves to start the engine, after which the car runs on gas.

In sharp contrast, the lightweight electric wheelchair runs on battery power for the entire period that it is on. As with any other electric product that requires battery use, high quality batteries offer better quality. This quality translates to greater travel range and extended periods in between charging, certainly much-needed flexibility.

The basics of how a wheelchair battery works allows users to know what specifications to go for when shopping for an electric wheelchair. It is advisable to settle for a battery and battery charger whose specifications match, especially for those who opt to purchase second-hand lightweight electric wheelchairs. Doing so enables new users to understand that the battery charge available determines whether or not the wheelchair can be used. Consequently, this affects the distance that one can travel. Whichever brand one chooses, the battery functionality is not something that can be overlooked when switching to wheelchair use.

Using a portable electric wheelchair has revolutionized the lives of physically challenged people across the globe. The best thing about this type of wheelchair is that it can easily be carried from one place to another, allowing users a greater sense of freedom. For the most part, however, there is always the lingering thought of just how much charge one has, and how long it will last. This is why companies that manufacture mobility aid batteries always make sure to indicate a battery gauge, complete with lights that signal the battery status.

This gauge is usually found on the surface of the control unit. The portable electric wheelchair is designed this way to allow users with limited upper limb functionality get the correct information as pertains to battery charge. Different brands have different indicator systems, but the gauge will usually blink differently when the battery is fully charged as well as when charge is very low. This warns the user so that they either plug in to recharge, unplug when fully charged, or swap batteries if one has an extra pack.

Knowing the amount of charge available on your portable electric wheelchair also allows you to maintain an optimal battery capacity. As a general guide, when the wheelchair is not in use, it helps to keep the batteries at full capacity as this adds to their longevity. With regular use however, individuals get accustomed to their particular needs and learn how this influences the battery capacity of their wheelchair.

Typically, a lightweight electric wheelchair will last a couple of hours on a fully charged battery. While it is not possible to give concrete figures on the number of hours, most products available in the market last several hours. The number of hours will also affect the travel range of a particular electric wheelchair. For this reason, it is important for different users to establish the number of hours that their mobility aid gets to serve them before needing recharge.

This is, as is expected, influenced by a number of factors. The type of battery for instance, determines how long the charge will last. Sealed lead acid batteries offer better capacity, and are included in modern designs. The age of the batteries also determines just how much charge will last for a given period of time. Depending on how often one uses the lightweight electric wheelchair, most batteries that are just about two years may need to be replaced with new batteries for better services.

Another factor that must be put into consideration when finding out just how long a fully charged battery will power a lightweight electric wheelchair is the terrain. Rough terrain in the outdoors drains battery charge faster than when the wheelchair is used indoors. Lastly, the user’s weight will also impact the amount of charge used with plus size individuals using more battery power. Understanding the interplay of these factors enables users better plan their schedules or find alternatives such as extra batteries.

Portable electric wheelchairs have provided amazing mobility solutions for physically challenged persons across the world. This is because they not only allow freedom and independence, they are also easy to travel with from one place to another. Electric wheelchairs globally are powered by batteries which, as any other device needs, have to be charged on a regular basis. Sometimes, regular charging is not possible for a myriad of reasons. It could be that the user has fully healed from their condition, or that they got a better mobility aid. Whichever the case, it is important to take measures to prevent the batteries from getting damaged over a long period of time.

The perfect accessory for this is a maintenance charger for your portable electric wheelchair. This charger is designed to sustain the battery’s capacity at a suitable voltage for an extended period of time. Innovation has allowed companies that manufacture mobility aid batteries to manufacture mobility chargers that function this way. A number of mobility chargers available in the market work by charging the batteries to full capacity, after which the current is stopped to discontinue charging.

The other alternative that clients can take up to ensure optimal functioning of their batteries is to make use of low power maintenance chargers. These are easily available at different stores that sell mobility aid products and accessories. The maintenance chargers work perfectly well for individuals who hire out their portable electric wheelchair irregularly, and may need storage period.

Using a lightweight electric wheelchair is one of the ways in which physically challenged persons are able to get around with remarkable ease. As is expected, all electric wheelchairs are powered by portable batteries, and the lightweight electric one is no exception. The beauty about it is that the battery is recharged when the need arises. What’s more, individuals could always purchase more than one battery to increase their travel range (depending on their needs). To enjoy battery longevity in wheelchair use, it is important to ensure that proper maintenance is carried out.

One of the ways in which you can maintain the batteries of your lightweight electric wheelchair is to ensure constant charging, even when the wheelchair is not in use. The simple reason for this is that batteries will self-discharge over a long period of time. The user guide available on purchase of the wheelchair will indicate the number of hours required for maximum charge. Make sure you follow the instructions indicated because this not only ensures optimal performance, it also allows you to maintain the batteries in excellent condition.

Overcharging is a practice that is highly discouraged as this tends to damage the battery’s functionality very quickly. As a general guide, most clients find it practical to charge their lightweight electric wheelchairs battery at the end of the day or when they are certain they will not need to use the mobility aid again for a given period of time. Whichever the case, make sure that the battery is charged regularly.

Hailed as the easiest folding electric wheelchair globally, the Portashopper-3 is an incredible product that embraces modern technology and functionality to make mobility easy for users worldwide. As one of the latest models, it is easy to see why this folding electric wheelchair would strike a chord with users globally. At the time of its launch, the wheelchair was on offer alongside an additional battery for a pre-determined number of buyers. This allowed individuals to enjoy the benefits of a powerful motor charged by the battery, in effect increasing the travel range.

It is important, however, to mention that even after the offer is long gone, users will still be able to enjoy these benefits, and here’s why. The Portashopper-3 comes along with three choices of batteries: type 1, 2 or 3, all Lithium in nature. The three types of batteries are distinguished by their capacities as follows: 7Ah, 14Ah and 21Ah respectively.

The difference in battery capacities is a key determinant in the travel range of the wheelchair, but it is also important to note that the battery discharge is influenced by the external terrain. The outdoors, typically, lead to greater battery discharge compared to indoor use.

Depending on one’s needs, there is always the option of purchasing an extra battery. This is especially important for users who are constantly on the move. With the benefits of having a foldable electric wheelchair, Portashopper clients enjoy the perks of optimal batteries and associated products from Batteries Charger Company.
